What was funny is there was a big article where they were like, yeah, this is actually- What's crazy is you read about those cities, right? Like Portland and San Francisco. They'll do the craziest thing ever, and then two years later, they'll start going like, yeah, this just is not having the results. Yeah. That we thought it would have. Like this is drug use is up. Crime is up. Violence is up.
So Santa Monica now is doing a curfew because there's been violent crimes at night. No way. They're thinking about doing a curfew in Santa Monica. So again, because Santa Monica is thinking about doing a curfew because there's like violent crimes. So instead of just going like, hey, we got to throw these people in jail. Like it's nine o'clock. Go home. This is California.
This is the biggest economy in our country, and they're thinking of having a curb because they're all out of ideas on how to stop people from being victims of violent crime. Bro, I got friends who can't sell their houses there. No, it's bad. I'm glad I sold my house when it did.
Nobody wants to buy houses there. They're like, we're getting out.
Uber rich people are... a lot of them are just keeping their houses because they can't get the money they want. So like people that are like in Bel Air, those crazy things, right? Right. Beverly Hills, Bel Air, these behemoths.
You also got to hope that they elect Rick Caruso and he goes around California in a tank. With a bunch of guys in bazookas, and it's like the craziest thing you've ever seen, that's all you can hope for. You need like a Rudy Giuliani type character. Yeah, I mean, you need Sergeant Slaughter from the old WWF. You need a fully fascist. You need a guy to run as a fascist.
When they go, are you a Republican? He goes, no, no, no, no, no. I am a fascist. This is a military dictatorship. You need four years of a military dictatorship in California to just turn it around, to just start steering it the other way.
Yeah, it's going red. There's only so many times you can wake up in a $4 million house with a gun in your mouth. Before you start thinking differently about it.
Absolutely. They will always take the side of the people that are trying to destroy civilization. Always.
I think what you have... I don't know if it's a grand plan, but I think what you have is you have two things... They're happening simultaneously. You have the people, the last people that seem to want to be in politics are people that believe in like nothing. They're like empty suit Gavin Newsom types who just really don't seem, they just, whatever room they're in, Wait a minute.
Have you seen his podcast?
Well, that proves my point. That proves my point now, right? He's a believer. So now he's like, oh, things are going right. I'll go to the right. Things are going to the left. I'll go to the left. So you have like these people that just don't they will not like Sanders or Trump, whatever you think about them. They're not going to like, quote, stand on business.
They're not going to tell people, here's where I'm at. This is the way I feel. They're just empty vessels. And then at the same time, you have that happening again. You have the craziest people in the world that somehow have gotten a hold of a ton of money and a ton of influence on social media.
And those empty suit politicians are like scared of these lunatics that believe the craziest things you've ever heard. So these politicians are just like taking edicts from these crazy people online who tell them that we need the stabbing wagon and we need all this stuff. I don't know. how that happened, that somebody should look at that, how that happened and study it.
And I think it's a lot of these politicians are deeply corrupt. And I think they're terribly afraid of whatever corruption they're involved with coming to the surface. And it could be personal in their personal life. It could be with the state. I think, you know, the mismanagement of money, of resources, all of that stuff.
So if I was a really corrupt politician, I would just do the craziest left-wing shit. so that I could never be accused of anything. Good move. And I would just let them do whatever the hell they want. I'd go, yeah, well, fucking whatever. We got a new law that says they got to draw blood in your house from you before you can defend yourself.
Well, rappers are honest. A lot of them, even though they might lie about how much money they have and stuff, there's a certain honesty to that genre of music. Clearly, you can go too far like P. Diddy. You can go too far. But he wasn't super honest. He seemed to be concealing a bit. He seemed to be. Yeah.
If the CIA was like, we can't really, we don't really know anything about like this world of like, you know, that's not what we do. We're like a bunch of Harvard guys and we have these fucking weirdos that we know about how to get in with like our people, but we need someone who was like a black guy to do it. It could have been Pete Diddy.
Big, powerful billionaires are- probably they're their own governments. So, I mean, when you run afoul of them, I think there's many ways at which they can get you. Also, they feel like they pay so much money for taxes. I think that's a lot of these intelligence agencies are working for those people. They're not, I think, on their own. There's big money there.
to be made and there's a lot, the people that own these companies and have been rich for a very long time and who aren't, you know, on reality TV and you don't really know who they are but they like, some of them are on the Forbes list, some of them aren't.
